I keep trying to imagine what a very painful scenario would be that few are prepared for. I could see BTC linger in this "handle" right around the election. Then depending on who wins it might soar (Trump) or break down for a longer period (Biden). I'm not making a prediction, just an observation. The wait could be a bit shorter if it somehow becomes painfully obvious who the winner of the election is and people try to front-run it.
Also, such a prolonged consolidation till Nov just looks right in terms of time proportion to the cup's base. 🤷
Such a scenario would sure be hurtful for altcoin holders, who might run out of patience and sell, which would be the precursor for going higher.
